"There is a large and growing body of evidence that shows that technology can transform people's experience of education. The clever use of technology lets students study at their own pace, using interactive, collaborative, conversational teaching modules, supported by teachers who can tailor their support to individuals' needs. This is hugely significant, especially for those who might have had bad experiences of the traditional classroom environment first time around." http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2011/jun/20/internet-first-education-digital-skills-gap
